stand_v as_o godfather_n to_o a_o child_n before_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o tell_v you_o you_o never_o receive_v it_o of_o i_o and_o i_o be_o afraid_a you_o never_o receive_v it_o at_o all_o parish_n true_o sir_n if_o that_o be_v the_o law_n my_o neighbour_n must_v look_v he_o another_o gossip_n for_o it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o lie_v i_o never_o

be_v very_o slippery_a indeed_o i_o can_v well_o understand_v a_o sermon_n and_o i_o remember_v it_o worse_o but_o if_o i_o perfect_o apprehend_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o duty_n no_o man_n shall_v
